130AH 12V LEISURE BATTERY FOR CARAVAN CAMPERVAN MOTORHOME DEEP CYCLE

Product Information

Also, they will have a shorter operating life. However, if you only do some infrequent off-grid camping or you have a motormover, an AGM should be a serious consideration. The C100 rating shows how the battery would perform if put it under a constant load of 1.3 Amps. At this load the battery would provide 1.3 Amps of current for 100 hours. A total of 130 Amp Hours (AH)

Therefore as you will appreciate, with the significant number of potholes on UK roads, their ability to cope well with vibration makes them a great choice for caravans and motorhomes. Low electrolyte level Only applies to wet-lead acid batteries which can be topped up. A low electrolyte level will cause the lead plates to deteriorate. Keep it topped up with distilled water, being particularly vigilant when charging. Once the battery reaches 100%, the charger switches to a ‘float’ charge to maintain the battery without overcharging. Some modern motorhomes have intelligent charging systems fitted as standard, which take care of this for you. Lithium - Lithium batteries are durable and perform well at extreme temperatures. They're maintenance free too. They are a modern alternative to other types and sort more energy with less weight. They can also deliver accurate data for power monitoring. They are, however, more expensive. Battery class categoriesGel – Gel batteries are sealed units, just like AGM, and therefore can be laid on their side. They are leakproof and can recharge if run flat (though still not advised). Gel batteries are considered the safest option and are commonly in campervans and motorhomes in Europe. They are one of the most expensive battery types. What are leisure batteries for?

Batteries built for cars are also made differently, with thinner plates and specific separators that can't cope with extended periods of use or deliver lower energy levels. Different Types of 110 AH Leisure Battery Also, you’ll want to take into consideration how many recharge cycles your battery can handle before giving up the ghost. The more a battery can do, the better, obviously. These are generally referred to as “deep-cycle” leisure batteries.You will find Valance lithium batteries used in commercial EV vehicles and various other commercial applications. What’s more, switching to shelf mode means the Renogy will have a low self-discharge rate to keep it protected when not in use. These simple batteries get their name from the lead plates that are submerged in sulphuric acid inside them. The acid acts as the electrolyte, creating an electric charge. They are cheap and easy to get, but need careful handling and maintenance off regular replacement is to be avoided. Car batteries provide bursts of energy, starting the car engine. 110 leisure battery models release lower energy levels but, over more time, to keep your appliances functioning.

A deep-cycle battery is designed to be frequently discharged and recharged to a significant proportion of its capacity. All leisure batteries output at 12V, and how long a fully charged battery will last (in amp hours, or Ah) depends on how much current is drawn from it. As a rough guide, if your battery is 100Ah it will provide 100 amps for one hour or one amp for 100 hours. If the appliance you’re powering doesn’t state how many amps it requires, you can work it out as follows Watts ÷ Volts = Amps. So, work out what appliances you’ll be powering simultaneously and get the calculator out.By preventing your charge dropping below 50% for a flooded lead-acid battery, and (ideally) 40% for a gel or AGM battery, you should seriously prolong the life of your leisure battery. In both cases, that equates to around 12.2V on your motorhome’s battery meter. Approximate level of charge However, you can also benefit from a quality 110 AH leisure battery even if you aren't relying on your battery to keep the lights on! A bit like the AGM leisure battery design, but with a completely different makeup, lead crystal (LC) leisure batteries use a micro-porous super-absorbent mat (SAM), high-purity lead calcium selenium plates and a safe SiO2 electrolyte solution. LC batteries can be discharged completely and also recharged from flat without any damage and can offer three times the lifespan of lead acid batteries. Naturally, this all comes at a price.
